Crossword puzzles & Quaker plain speech...

My newspaper runs three crosswords daily. I don't do them any more--eliminates another compulsion. But Monday a clue in the NY Times puzzle #0111 caught my eye.

Across
52 Quaker pronoun
Four letters. Yep, it was THEE. So I finished the puzzle.

On the back page is the speed puzzle, the little one that tells you how long it takes to solve it. Sometimes I squander 10 minutes and blitz through it. There it is, same answer!

Down
29 You, old-style
Four letters. Yep, THEE again. So I finished the puzzle.

Wow. A two-thee day. What're the odds?
